How to Make Duck Tape® Desk Drawer Organizers

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Duck Brand. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am Spring Cleaning my craft room. I need to reorganize the drawers in my sewing desk. Fortunately, another Spring Cleaning project gave me a bunch of empty boxes and jars - the perfect raw material to celebrate Earth Day with an upcycled organizer project.

I cut the boxes and a drink holder to fit inside the drawer. My custom organizers work well but they are not so cute. I gave them a fun makeover with Duck Brand® Tape ( find Duck Tape here) that not only looks prettier but makes the boxes sturdier than they would have been on their own. Bonus!

You will need:
Duck Tape® - There are tons of new colors and types including glitter!

How to make Duck Tape® storage jars

1. Cut three (or as many as needed depending upon the size of your jar lid) pieces of Duck Tape® Ducklings.

2. Overlap the pieces of Duck Tape® to each other to make a custom size horizontal sheet of Duck Tape®. You will use this technique throughout this tutorial.

You can cover the side edge of the lid with a piece of Duck Tape® Ducklings if you like.

3. Use the ruler and rotary cutter to cut a square from the Duck Tape® sheet to fit the jar lid.

4. Cover the jar with your Duck Tape® design. Use the scissors to trim the Duck Tape® as needed.

How to make Duck Tape® storage boxes

I decorated the inside of my storage boxes because I will see it more often than if I put the design on the side.

1. Cover the outside of the box using a combination of Neon Green Color Duck Tape® and Green Duck Tape® Ducklings.

We will make the finished edge in Step 4

2. Attach half of a strip of Chrome Duck Tape® Ducklings to the top of the box. Clip the Duck Tape® at the corners. This will make a cleaner corner when you fold the Duck Tape® over the top of the box to make a finished edge.

3. Cover the inside of the box with Sliver Duck Glitter® Crafting Tape.

The glitter doesn't shed!

4. Fold the Chrome Duck Tape® Ducklings over the top of the box to make the finished edge.

5. Fold lengths of Neon Green and Pink Duck Tape® on itself and use the die cutting machine to cut random size circles from the Duck Tape®

Circles!

6. Use white glue to glue the Duck Tape® circles inside the box.

Fun!

7. You can use also use technique to cover and reinforce the top and outside of a drink holder to use as a craft jar caddy.
